Sansui 1000A phono preamp Cap Polarity

Hello all,
I am doing the recapping on my 1000a and on the phono preamp boards there are 2 10uf/12wv electrolytics C86 and C126. Somehow, I mixed the polarity on one of the caps.
I am trying to read the schematic to verify which side is + and which is negative. I am thinking that the negative side of the cap ties to the collector of the 2SB381 and C122.
Can someone please correct me if I am wrong here. Thanks.
Kevin

Nevermind, one of the guys on DIY audio helped me out with a picture showing the correct polarity of those preamp board caps.

A good practice is to take lots of pictures before removing any parts or wires. That has saved my bacon more than once.

Agreed, normally I do that. In this case, the Enya caps had an arrow but did not indicate + or - Thats why I needed some vusual help. I used the schematic to figure the polarity out, but wanted confirmation so I didnt blow up 10 caps on those preamp boards. Thanks again for all the help.
